The award was presented in recognition of Vander Werf’s efforts last year, resulting in the most quality referrals to free estate planning services offered by Barnabas Foundation.

Dordt College is one of 200 member organizations which comprise the Barnabas Foundation. The foundation provides quality planned giving and estate planning services from legal and financial professionals at no cost to the individual. This professional advice and convenience for donors helps them maximize their charitable gifts to member ministries.

“There are specific times in your life when financial planning can not only result in great benefit for your favorite charities, but can also provide great benefit for you,” said Vander Werf. “Good estate planning helps ensure that assets are passed on in a way that honors God and furthers his work.”
